Surprise: You don’t need eggs, oil, or dairy to make waffles or pancakes. Here, rolled oats are ground into a coarse flour for tender, textured waffles rich in nutty oatmeal flavor. The batter is thick so that it will hold its shape in a waffle iron, but you can also thin it with more plant milk to make it pourable enough for pancakes. For a healthy alternative to pancake syrup, try blending 2 cups of fresh berries into a smooth purée, then spooning it over your oat waffles.

Most FOK are amazing!! Sadly, this one is not. I agree with the “glutinous cardboard” comment – they were dense with no flavor. Even adding extra banana and vanilla didn’t help.
Very dense, a bit like glutinous cardboard. Healthy though.
Very easy to make. Good taste. Sturdy. Very sturdy. When eating these, I feel like I am doing the right thing. Doing the right thing is not always a walk in the park, but I would take that walk again.
Where can I find the nutrition info for these recipes?
